Our Elders

Our Elders oversee the spiritual and physical welfare of Lake Forest Church, including vision-casting, shepherding of pastors and staff and praying for members of the body.


Elders are nominated and confirmed by LFC Ministry Partners after examination by the Elder Nominating Committee (ENC), which convenes yearly to elect new members. Elders can be male or female and must be active Lake Forest Church Ministry Partners who demonstrate admirable leadership and character qualifications.


Once affirmed, Elders serve a three-year term before rotating to an “Inactive Elder” designation, though they continue to play a vital role in the health of LFC.

Our Teaching Team

At Lake Forest, we believe that through a diversity of voices, we might experience a fuller and more rich understanding of who Jesus is and what He is speaking to us through His word.
We are fortunate to have a community of gifted communicators, teachers, and pastors in and around our church who make up our Teaching Team.
